Our attorneys appear often in the news regarding many of our high profile cases. Click here for a collection of some of these stories and TV interviews from major publications and news sources.

Thorough Preparation Is Our Reputation

Insurance companies know that we prepare cases to win in court — not just at the negotiating table. With more than 70 combined years of experience, we know what it takes to recover full and fair compensation from large national insurance companies. We are not a lawsuit mill that just settles cases.

We have strong name-recognition among insurance companies and defense attorneys, particularly in the Orange County metro area. They know our firm and know that we are always prepared to go to trial. Our reputation leads to better settlements for our clients. We are confident we can help you recover the money you are entitled to — but only if you call.

Protecting The Rights Of Injured Victims

Don't talk to an insurance adjuster until you talk to us. Call us if you suffered an injury or lost a loved one in any kind of accident.

Motor vehicle accidents: We have years of experience helping people recover compensation for medical treatment, lost earnings, and pain and suffering related to car, truck and motorcycle accidents.

Premises liability: Slip-and-fall accidents are often complex cases because of the high standards of evidence. We can help you recover money damages for injuries suffered as a result of an accident at a private residence, retail store or public property.

Product liability: We hold product manufacturers accountable for unsafe design and manufacturing of consumer, industrial and children's products. If you were injured because of a defect or unsafe design, talk to us first.

Catastrophic injuries and wrongful death: Our experience includes settlements and trial victories in cases involving life-ending and life-changing accidents, including severe neck and back injuries, brain injuries and burn injuries.

"We look for the human story behind every injury or wrongful death. We prepare our cases for trial; reaching out to the jury with the most compelling evidence possible for the best verdict possible. Insurance companies know this and come to the table prepared to negotiate in good faith. Call us to see how we can turn your story into fair compensation." Attorney W. Douglas Easton

Our Results

We recently settled a wrongful death case for $2.75 million where the decedent was 55 years old with no wife or children, just two surviving parents in their 80's. The defendants' insurance carrier initially expected to pay only a nominal amount to settle the case of these 80-year-old parents who had no economic losses as a result of their son's death. But because we demonstrated the unique bond these parents shared with their son by persuasively telling their poignant family story, we were able to significantly increase the value of their case.

After seeing how we would present this elderly couple's case before a jury, the insurance company knew that taking the matter to trial could result in a substantially higher verdict based on our advocacy. Consequently, we were able to settle the case for an amount far in excess of our clients' wildest dreams without them having to go through the pain and ordeal of a lengthy trial.

Because the amount and nature of this settlement were so unique, Doug, Brian, and Matt Easton all received Commendations from the City of Lancaster for their work in this case and the settlement was chosen as #18 in The Recorder's Top Million-Dollar Verdicts & Settlements in California for 2013.
